(This is probably in the wrong category because I couldn’t find a Studio Bugs one.)
Whenever I try and start Roblox Studio, I get prompted with a popup which says “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.” (screenshot below).
I’ve tried about 10 times, and it’s happened at a 100% rate. It began to appear after my IT expert re-installed my Windows 10. Before this, I didn’t have any issues with Studio.
I also tried to delete and install Roblox Studio one more time, as well as reboot my laptop. I contacted Roblox support and they said to check my proxy settings, but everything was fine there. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Have you found a fix for this issue? I’ve been having the same problem as well except with a different address (0xc000005). I first experienced this problem yesterday when my PC had a hiccup yesterday, crashing Studio. I recently turned my PC back on to use Studio and had the same error.
I followed this tutorial until roughly the 2-3 minute mark. I restarted my computer before he opened “Run” through the Start Menu and then my Studio opened again, no need for reinstall.
Heyy! To be honest this happened so long ago that I completely forgot how I even ended up fixing it, but thank you so much for sharing what worked for you! It’s great you left this here, it’s probably going to save the next person who stumbles onto this thread from having to reinstall everything.
EDIT: didn’t mean to reply to you, my apologies!
I often get this error code (0xc000007b) when trying to start VMware Workstation. Simply restarting my computer fixes the issue for me. How bizarre!
As far as I can remember, 0xc000005 means access is denied. I’m just going to check that.
Using a very nice tool that comes with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (CMTrace), I was able to look both error codes up, for reference (the c part isn’t relevant, I don’t think):
0xc000005:
Access is denied
0xc000007b:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
While I cannot be certain what causes these issues (most likely a system process taking ownership of a file temporarily, not sure about 7b though), a good old restart always seems to fix these issues for me.
Hope this gives some context and sheds some light on what these error codes actually mean.
